Ouch

I participated in relay for life on Saturday and got super bad sunburn! I put on SPF 30 in the morning then reapplied with spf80 when I started to see my skin turn pink....and reapplied throughout the day. My upper back and shoulders are soooooo burned they hurt :( any recommendations on a good product to use on it?

Yes this!!! I use aloe vera lotion, not the gel...The gel ends up hurting more over time. The lotion really helps to bring down the pain, you just have to reapply constantly!

This is going to sound really nasty - but it totally works.

Put some milk in a bowl with a couple ice cubes and just dab it on with a wash cloth.

The vitamin D helps sooth your skin.

I had a serious burn a couple summers ago - i was stunk in bed for days since I had blisters all over my legs and this was my only saving grace.

Hope you feel better!

Growing up my mom would rub Greek yogurt on us after a burn - it helps but you peel more

Really?? I didnt know about the more peeling thing -I was covered in blisters, so peeling was going to happen either way.
